BOTTLE-WRAPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 563,962, dated. July 14, 1896.

Application filed'March 28, 1896. Serial No. 585,147. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that 1, JAMES J. I-IINDE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sandusky, in the county of Erie and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-WVrappers, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawlngs.

The invention consists in the construction of a wrapper for bottles and other fragile articles formed of paper, strawboard, cardboard, &c., and particularly in constructing a wrapper from a fiat sheet forming that sheet into a fiat tube, and forming complementary corrugations through both sides of the tube, so that the convex corrugations in one side fit into the concave corrugations of the other side. This forms, when finished, a double corrugated sheet.

The invention further consists in the construction of such a closed tube with longitudinal corrugations its entire length, the corrugations being formed to be permanently of varying depth, all as more fully hereinafter described.

In the drawings, Figure l is a diagram perspective view showing how the tube is usually formed. Fig. 2 is a section through the corrugating-rolls, by means of which the tube is corrugated. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of such rolls. Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the next step in the preparation of the wrapper, namely,fixing the deep corrugations. Fig. 5 is an elevation of one of the wrappers in the fiat form. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of one of the wrappers as applied in use. Figs. 7 and S are bottom and top plans thereof, respectively. Figs. 9 and 10 are cross-sections through Fig. 5 on lines 1/ g and a: a, respectively. Figs. 11 and 12 showa similar construction with cross-corrugations, which I have made the subject of another previous application, Serial No. 1,267, filed March 11, 1895, which I do not intend to herein claim, but which broadly comes within the scope of my invention. 1

I will first explain the construction of my wrapper formed with a natural taper throughout.

I first form the tube A, fiat, then cut it into lengths or sections B and pass it through rolls 0 sidewise, to form longitudinal corrugations therein, in both thicknesses of paper. In making these corrugations in the section, they are formed in such a manner that they increase in depth gradually from one end to the other or from the body of the bottle to the upper end of the neck. This Ipreferably accomplish by means of corrugating-rolls C, ,60 having teeth a deeperor longer at one end than at the other, or by arranging the rolls so that the teeth intermesh deeper at one end than at the other. The effect of this is to form the corrugations or fiutings on the blank in this manner, and to draw the edges of the blank nearer together at the end having the deep corrugations. This is done while the board is wet, and the blanksare then squeezed or clamped at the small end, as shown in Fig. at, in which I have shown a rectangular frame D, in which the small end of the blank is inserted, and a wedge E pushed in beside the blank to compress the corrugations together. The blank being then allowed to dry will retain this form permanently, being, when finished, substantially as shown in Fig. 5. These flat wrappers in tubular form may be shipped in a very compact space, and in use the operator simply opens the bottom and draws the wrapper over the top of the bottle, as shown in Fig. 6.

As it is evident that the deeper the corrugation the greater the ability to resist trans- .verse strains, and as the greatest liability of breakage is in the neck of the bottle, this wrapper presents the greatest strength where it is needed, and without any sacrifice of material or expense in manufacture.

The spirit of my invention includes a construction as shown in Figs. 11 and 12, in which a flat tube A is formed as described, and the tube, while moist, is passed through corrugating-rolls to form cross-corrugations, as shown in the figures referred to. This 5 construction has similar intergaging corrugations, and is satisfactory for use on cylindrical bodies, as shown in Fig. 12.

What I claim as my invention is 1. Abottle-wrapper formed of paper-board in the shape of a fiat tube, said tube having corrugations substantially throughout the convex corrugations of one side fitting in, the concave corrugations of the other side, substantially as described.

2. A bottle-Wrapper formed from paperboard in the shape of a fiat tube, having pern'ianent corrugations longitudinally, the corrugations at the neck being deeper than those in the body portion the convex corrugations of one side fitting in the concave corrugations on the other side.

A bottle-Wrapper formed from paperboard, in the shape of a flat tube, having permanent ion gitudin a1 corrugations, the corrugations increasing in depth from the base to the top the convex corrugations of one side fitting in the concave corrugations on the other side.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
